Well, Lyx Website hit statistics could give a very rough idea maybe.
They can record OS statistics, if they are hidden by the user.
You could get a decent sense of the Windows and Mac populations from
download statistics, but not so much with Linux, since Linux users will
generally get LyX via their distro's packaging system, and we don't have
any very good way to get that kind of info.
What we might hope is that, as people start to use more and more FOSS
software---Firefox, Thunderbird, LyX, etc---then perhaps they will
figure, hey, maybe free isn't so bad. Maybe free is good. Maybe I should
try Linux, too.
